How To Prevent Being Hacked Via Backups?
Popsikle writes "A few days ago one of the Web's largest hosting discussion forums was supposedly hacked via their backup servers. From the story: 'We've since learned that this very deliberate, sophisticated and calculated hack against Web Hosting Talk was carried out by gaining access to our offsite backup servers. From our backup servers, the hacker gained access to the WHT db server. The malicious attacker deleted all backups from the backup servers within the infrastructure before deleting tables from our db server. We were alerted of the db exploitation and quickly shut down the site to prevent further damage.' What sort of security do you put on your backup infrastructure? Looking at your backup solution could you be completely taken down by either someone obtaining a backup or accessing your backup servers? What sort of recommendations does everyone have for this not to happen?"

First off, you reply to your own comment when your signature is "Comment above sucks, just so you know"
Secondly, you might want to read the article. The article was about some guy's backup server getting hacked, not the backups getting stolen. The hacker deleted all his backups on the backup server (which incidentally should be taped or off-lined, Ultrium3/4 drives are fairly inexpensive compared to the cost of loss of data), then the hacker destroyed his production server.
Third, the word Ammendum doesn't exist. Did you mean addendum?
So you misspell words, poke fun of yourself via your signature and then offer terrible advice, use a word which doesn't exist and you say "a admin" rather than "an admin."
Does your brain work?
I'll explain why all us folks down in Dixie hate the niggers. And you Linux faggots should hate them too, because just like in real life, the niggers take welfare, cause crime and act like niggers, and in digital life the niggers don't contribute shit to opensource, maybe a few niggers here or there, but I never see any niggers on cvs, git or subversion commits. Yee haw!

Artist: Johnny Rebel Song: who likes a nigger
L.B.J. was a-flyin' one morn', Over south Louisiana...feeling for alarm, When he looks down below, and what does he see?, Two cajuns pullin' a nigger on ski's!, So he lands, and says, "Thanks for helping your black brother!", And them two cajuns just looked at each other, And said, "He might be smart, but I'll tell you something...", "He don't know a thing about alligator huntin'!", O-wop-bop-bam-bam, Who likes a nigger?, o-wop-bop-bam-bam
(CHORUS), Who likes a nigger?, o-wop-bop-bam-bam, Who likes a nigger?, And the hatin', everybody, is a-gettin' much bigger, Rich man travelin' down thru the South, Stopped in Mississippi to get a tooth pulled out, When he paid the doctor the charges due, He said "My nigger chauffer's got a bad tooth, too", "Well, I'll pull it...", said the doc, "but you'd better not holler!, Cause I'll have to charge you $200.00, Cause here in Mississippi he can't open his mouth, We'll have to go thru his bottom, to get the thing out!"
Chorus
There ain't much difference 'tween a nigger and a donkey, 'Bout as much between an ape and a monkey, Ones a little bigger, but you gotta agree, There's not very much more that you can see., But a mule earns his livin' by the sweat of his neck, While a nigger sits down and draws a gov't check, The nigger should be smarter, as a general rule, But in a spelling contest, I'd pick the mule!
Artist: Johnny Rebel Song: Affirmative Action
Affirmative action, what's this country coming to?, Affirmative action, what's the white man gonna do?, It's another government handout and simply said, "You've got to hire a nigger instead", I was down at the office, cleaning up the joint, Just doing a little extra, making brownie points, Cause I'd heard somebody say, a promotion's on the line, So I was working hard, I wa.nted that promotion to be mine, So I asked the CEO if I could have a try, He said "you work hard, son and I know you qualify., You're the best man for the job but it's out of my hands, I've got to give it to a nigger
"Their" is not singular, you cretin. Use "his": it's a perfectly fucking good word.

I've actually had more tapes fail on me than hard drives.
